this has become a family favorite. I add diced chilies and have used both red and green enchilada sauce with success.

Awesome. Wonderful flavor, easy prep. I used corn tortillas instead of flour...frying each one for 30 sec each side to soften. I will make this recipe again for sure!

LOL I got the green enchilada sauce too by mistake. Unlike with say meatloaf, I'm looking for one enchilada recipe to be my standby. This was very very satisfying. Maybe it's just me, but I could actually stand to have more "zip." Perhaps a can of chopped green chiles and maybe some cumin in the filling. I had a green salad with (spicy) cumin vinaigrette as a side and was very happy.

I make a similar recipe only I saute mushrooms/onions and put them in the recipe.

I accidentally bought the green chile enchilada sauce and it turned out fantastic!
